Friction springs act as buffers to absorb and dampen high levels of kinetic energy from a moving mass. They also work as overload-protection devices and handle high forces in a relatively small ...

Friction springs consist of radial rings that deform briefly and convert impact energy into frictional heat. Design them into your next design for damping. Carl Fenstermacher, President, Ringfeder ...

Coil spring force line control is an important aspect of spring design for coil-over-shock suspension type applications, such as MacPherson strut and coil-over-shock trailing arm applications, from ...
